纽约州男子杰克逊参与全美银行支票诈骗获刑5年：团伙在Telegram频道出售被盗支票
美国司法部宣布，现年31岁、住在纽约州斯塔滕岛的柯蒂斯·杰克逊（Curtis Jackson）因参与一个横跨多州的邮件盗窃与银行诈骗团伙，在阿拉巴马南区联邦法院被判处60个月（5年）联邦监禁。检方指，杰克逊在2023年2月至2024年6月间，与住在阿拉巴马州莫比尔的拉埃里克·马克斯·威廉姆斯-贝弗利（LaEric Marques Williams-Beverly）等人共谋，盗窃并伪造印有身份盗窃受害者信息的支票牟利。
调查显示，两人共同运营一个名为「House of Pain & Drank」的Telegram频道，在上面出售总价值数百万美元的被盗金融票据。2024年1月，监控视频拍到威廉姆斯-贝弗利从莫比尔一家企业的邮箱中盗走信件，银行ATM影像则记录了欺诈性存款过程。纽约市警察局随后在纽约市逮捕杰克逊，当场查获一张以该企业账户开出的43,686.45美元伪造支票；他的iCloud账户中存有大量被盗和伪造支票的影像，包括一张62,673.46美元的花旗银行存款单。2024年6月，执法人员搜查威廉姆斯-贝弗利在莫比尔的住所，查获被盗邮件、伪造支票、他人的借记卡和信用卡、伪造工具和两支手枪。
联邦地区法官克里斯蒂·K·杜博斯（Kristi K. DuBose）在量刑时指出，杰克逊此前在州法院有盗窃、侵占、伪造文书、毒品和弃保潜逃等多项被捕与定罪记录。杰克逊刑满后还须接受5年监督释放，期间须接受毒品检测并受信用限制；法院未判罚金，但判其与同案被告共同连带赔偿13,041.52美元，另付100美元特别评估费。威廉姆斯-贝弗利此前已被判处120个月监禁。
此案由美国邮政检查局、特勤局、烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局、莫比尔警察局等机构联合侦办，纽约市警察局提供协助；联邦检察官肖恩·P·科斯特洛（Sean P. Costello）对外公布，助理联邦检察官贾斯汀·罗勒（Justin Roller）负责起诉。
New York Man Curtis Jackson Sentenced to Five Years in Nationwide Bank Fraud and Mail Theft Ring
The Department of Justice announced that Curtis Jackson, 31, of Staten Island, New York, was sentenced in the Southern District of Alabama to 60 months in federal prison for his role in a nationwide mail theft and bank fraud conspiracy. Prosecutors said that from February 2023 to June 2024, Jackson conspired with LaEric Marques Williams-Beverly of Mobile, Alabama, and others to steal and counterfeit checks bearing the information of identity-theft victims.
Investigators found that the pair administered a Telegram channel called "House of Pain & Drank," through which they sold millions of dollars' worth of stolen financial instruments. In January 2024, video showed Williams-Beverly stealing checks from the mailbox of a Mobile business, and ATM footage captured fraudulent deposits. The NYPD arrested Jackson in New York City carrying a counterfeited check for $43,686.45 drawn on that business's account, and his iCloud account held images of stolen and counterfeit checks, including a Citibank deposit slip for a $62,673.46 check. A June 2024 search of Williams-Beverly's Mobile home seized stolen mail, counterfeit checks, other people's debit and credit cards, check-counterfeiting tools, and two pistols.
U.S. District Judge Kristi K. DuBose noted Jackson's prior state arrests and convictions for theft, larceny, forged instruments, drugs, and bail jumping. He will serve five years of supervised release with drug testing and credit restrictions after prison; no fine was imposed, but he must pay $13,041.52 in restitution, jointly and severally, plus a $100 special assessment. Williams-Beverly was previously sentenced to 120 months.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Secret Service, the ATF, and the Mobile Police Department, with assistance from the NYPD, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Roller. U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello announced the sentence.
